Does this fit in with this thread on Trade Reels? I accidentally erased the photos of it going back together and somewhat cleaned up. I like it for an interesting shelfie. Dominick

George, I just got around to taking those photos of the finished product. Here they are. The reel did not clean up all that well but it has an antique look. Dominick

I like the look of the thick, square edged side plates.

Shiny is inexpensive. A nice patina is priceless.

Hello Dom,

The reel is made by Horricks & Ibbotson. I believe they were made in Utica, New York back when dinosaurs roamed the planet.
